Summary

Treatment success demonstrated through clinical assessment may differ from the subjective perception of treatment success by the patient herself. Quality of life has frequently been associated with the term ‘health’ as defined by the World Health Organization. The paper reviews the impact urinary incontinence may have on quality of life of women suffering from this condition. A specific study in women undergoing surgery for stress urinary incontinence serves as an example. The strongest correlation appears to be between quality of life and urodynamic diagnosis. Coping with urinary incontinence is worse in women with the diagnosis of detrusor instability than in women with genuine stress incontinence.
